[Milsurplus] Warminster NADC centrifuge

[Ray Fantini]

This is what they are currently using the centrifuge facilities for today:

Looks like the NADC Museum is looking for a  Permanente home, or so I suspect. Perhaps that's why lots of their stuff is now on display over at Pax River NAS? Or maybe all that stuff that was at NADC just got transferred over to Pax river when NADC closed down? Good to see at least that all that Vietnam era motion detecting and monitoring stuff did not get dumped or sold off to some collector.

Just want to take an opportunity to put in a plug for the state of Maryland and the museums in DC and say think we have some of the best within a reasonable distance, things like the museum at Patuxent River NAS:

One of my favorites, the NSA National Cryptologic Museum that has not only every KY system and key but also includes every version of the  Enigma machine and the military's first wireless intercept station:

The National Electronics Museum of Defense Electronics that perhaps has the best  display of military radar from the SCR-270 that's on display to modern radar equipment, significant sets like the APS-4 radar and just about every countermeasures receiver from the APR-1 to modern sets and they host an annual swap fest  that I attended for the first time this year and have to say that I am looking forward to the opportunity to go back:

And then there is not much that compare with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and its new annex the Udvar-Hazy center, if you have not been there yet it's worth the trip by itself:

Although have to admit that they kind of are in Va.
Well that's enough of my beating the drum on museums that are close in proximity to me that I like, what have you got in NJ?
